WORK FOR HIM.


a Bright Moaksy. Locked uP In . Ceun<
who Pound Something 20 IN After All
..You idle. good-for-nothing fellow.
What! lodge you and your monkey
in my stable. give you supper and
breakfast, and then. when it comes to
paying-why. you have not as much as
. brass farthing!' and Herr Muller's
sharp face grew red with passion.
Poor little Paolo's turned white as
he Rugged his only friend. his beloved
JOcko. and stammered out an apology.
He had expected to find an audience
for the little creatures clever tricks.
but had been disappointed; no one
coming to the inn had given him any
thing.
II am very sorry. sir" he began.
humbly; but Herr Muller was unfortu-
nately in the worst Of tempers that
morning. and before Paolo could divine
his attention he had seized JOcko firmly
by the neck, and carried him into the
house.
..Now be of with you!" he called
back. roughly. ''And don't come back
without some money. When you pay
me what you owe me. I'll let you have
your monkey. and not before"
In another minute poor J0cko was
locked up securely in the cellar. while
his master walked slowly away in great
despair.
How could he earn money enough to
pay the landlord without Jocko's aid?
Who would listen to his squeaky tin
whistle when JOckO was not there to
dance and bow. and make the oddest Of
grimaces. and cut the queerest OF ca
pers?
In the meanwhile. the captive sat
upon a barrel in the cellar. his cOmical
little face puckercd up sadly. and his
tail down Imply, in melancholy fash
ion.
Presently = servant came down to
draw some wine; an operation which
the monkey watched with great inter-
est. Then another man brought can.
and filled it with beer from large
cask in the corner, after which JOckO's
spirits rose wonderfully, for it became
apparent to him that there was mis-
chief for an intelligent monkey to do.
| even in a cellar. Could he turn the
taps of the barrels? Could he? Splash!
splash! splash! all around the cellar!
Oh! what glorious fun!
But Herr Muller thought differently
when he came down and found all the
taps turned. and his precious wine and
beer pouring down upon the hoor.
while JockO danced about on the tops
of the barrels, frantic with delight
Truly it was sight for landlord!
"Here. Hans! Peter Lisbethr' shouted
Herr Muller, rushing from tap to tap.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Mrs. LivermOre shows that there
are now 2S7 occupations open to women
as against seven at the beginning OF the
century.-St. Louis Republican.
During 1886 eleven new asteroids
were detected. increasing the number
known To 264. Of this total. fifty-seven
have been discovered by DR.. J. Palisa,
Of Vienna. and forty-six BY DIR. Peters.
of Clinton, n. Y.
Out Of Is, 900 earthquakes observed
on coast lines the German seismOlOSist,
Kluge. found that only l24 were accom-
panied BY sea waves, although very
large proportion Of the shocks had prob
ably originated under the sea.
Professor Bonamico. of the Royal
Naval School of Leghorn. has invented
an important instrument for showing
not only the speed. but also indicating
the relative position Of one ship to an
other. and so preventing collisions.
A manufacturer of Roubaix has in
vented very curious application OF
electricity to looms. He adopts an in
WuICu StlIACS wuCu q SuiSseN
breaks. and thus saves the weaver from
the close attention to the quickly NOV
ing threads which is SO injurious to the
sight.-Populdr Science NeWs.
An apparatus Of iron and glass, in
which a pressure Of one thousand at
mospheres can be developed for the
purpose of studying the influence of
great pressure on animal life. has been
exhibited to biologists in France. With
it deep sea animals can be observed un-
der their natural comrression.-Sprirg-
ieid Times.
The census Of 1880 reported the
capital invested in agriculture in Mas
sachusctts was tl64.OOO.OO0. against
81. .OOO. 600 in the manufacture of boots
and shoes, $26. 900. 900 in the manufac-
ture Of wooden goods. and 81. 900. 600
in the manufacture of cotton goods
Yankee Blade.
The cut nail industry kept full pace
with other branches Of the iron and
steel business during 1886. The total
production reached 8.l6O.973 kegs Of
100 pounds each against $3.50. Sl5 kegs
in 1885. 7.5Sl.37 kegs in 1884. and
1862. 737 in 1883. The cut nail product.
like that Of pig iron and steel. was the
largest the country ever saw.-Brook-
Ign Eagle.
The very rapid progress which has
been made within recent years in the
manufacture and treatment of steel.
and in the investigation Of the proper
ties of other alloys of iron than those
with carbon. and the influence of inn
purities ON the properties of steel. have
left all our Textbooks SO far behind that
work intelligently recording our pres
ent practice. and collecting and analyz-
fiiiRg. the scattered information existing
in public aud private records. has been
greatly nceded.-Bost0W Budget.
Professor Milne, Of Japan. who is
an excellent authority on earthquakes.
which are very frequent in that country.
thinks that the electric disturbances
which so often accompany the shocks
are the consequences rather than the
causes of the latter. 1t is really the
earthquake which produces the elec-
trical phenomena In Japan earth
quakes are attributed by the ignorant
either to the action Of an eight-legge,l
earthquake insect living under ground.
or to the movements of great fish,
which ordinarily has rock on his head
to keep him quiet.-N. =. Ledger.

In a report prepared for the minis
terial commission which Is now con-
sidering the project Of gradually divert
ing the transportation of Russian con-
yicts from Siberia to the island OF
Saehalien and certain districts in the
trans-C Caucasian and central Asian
fro ntier provinces, the inspector OF the
Tiumen-Atchinsk route to Siberia states
that during the decade 1S76-S6 2lS.57S
prisoners passed along that highway.
Of this number no less than 1857 died
on the way, and l0l. a66 were sent from
Atchinsk to the most remote eastern
settlements. Tho report furnishes no
record of the probably large number
who perished on the latter part OF the
tourney. It is also silent rs to the
causes of the 1857 deaths between
Tiumen and Atchinsk. The fact can
not, however. be disguised that the
horrible hardships and su6erings under
which 20 large . number OF these un-
fortunate exiles sink on the way are q
standing blot on the penal legislation OF
Rnssia -Odesso Cor. London Nesos.

While THE GAZETTE can speak ex-
cathedra when expounding sound Demo
cratic doctrine, it disclaims infallioility
on legal questions and refers its CORE
spondent to article 1858 of the Statutes
Of Texas which reads: "Eyery male per-
son OF foreign birth subject to none of
the disqualdcations aforesaid, who, at
any time before an election, shall have
declared his intention Of becoming g
citizen Of the United States in accordance
with the federal naturalization laws, and
shall have resided in this state one year
next preceding such election, and the last
six months IN the county in which he Of
fers to vote, shall be deemed q qualified
voter" The disqualification aforesaid
are /. Idiots and lunatIcs. . All pau
pers supported by the county. 8. All
persons convicted of any felony 1. All
soldiers, marines and seamen employed
in the service Of the army or navy Of the
United States. There seems to be no
doubt but what a foreign born male per
SOL who declares his intentions of becom-
ing a citizen, or who becomes a citizen by
taking out naturalization papers," has
q right to vote, provided he is free from
the dIsqHalifcations above enumerated
and shall have resided in the state and
county the requisite time. The fact that
many Of those who are declaring their
intentions to become citizens Of the
United States reside in Dallas, when such
a city as Fort Worth is only thirty-two
miles distant, would probably be sufficient
to prevent them from voting under the
first disqualification enumerated, if the
matter we're pressed. It is at least
prima facie evidence Of a disqualification
IS expressed in exception one.

ENCOERAHLNn SLGNG

There are signs EIsi5le in the south
Of the material prosperity and sdyanc :
ment Of the colored race which must be
encouraging to all those who would ike
to see them raised to a higher plane Of
intelligent citizenship. In most Of the
states the colored people are acquiring
land and other real property, and sur
rounding themselves with the comforts
and, many Of them, with the Injuries Of
life They are taking their places in
liberal Observation-Disclosures, doctors,
CIergymen, journalists and teachers, ana
in the arts and sciences
they are gaining a foothold The
fact that in many states the c0Iorel
people are preparing for exhibitions Of
their resources as q race, where TIE pro-
ducts of the soil and the mind viii be
displayed, is evidence that they are be
ginning to realize the advance they have
made and that they are proud Of it. These
state meetings viii be Of incalculable
benefit 1t will inspire the colored man
to deeds of emulation and arouse in him
a desire to improve his condition by the
only possible method that can
be adopted. BY comparing him
self and his achievements to those
of his brethren, he can see wherein
he is deficient and where superior to
them. He will learn, too, that material,
moral and intellectual advancement must
60 hand in hand, and cannot be separated
from each other, and that the structure Of
his future, good or bad, must be the re-
suit of mis- own hsndicrsft. The southern /
people encourage these EXHIBITIONS and .
It ioice in the progress made by the col .
ored people As part and parcel Of our !
political and economic system It is to
the interest Of every citizen to have every
colored citizen raised and developed into
the highest type OF manhood which it is
possible to reach. Louisiana is encour-
aging the state fair which her
colored citizens are engaged in
preparing, and Texas shoulddo likewise
